Digby Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Why are the Timbers wearing their clash jerseys in Portland? Was it just to let the fans see them for a game? There would have been no clash problem if they just wore their home kits.The Timbers occasionally wear their red kits at home. Not sure why -- I guess just to show them off to the Timbers Army in person and sell more. That said, they did this same thing last year, wearing the red aways at home vs. Colorado while the Rapids wore their white-with-lots-of-dark-red aways. Portland should have worn the third kits at home, as they've done earlier this year.The first time Portland played Colorado this year, in Colorado, Portland wore the white third kit. I assume they will do the same when they play in Colorado again this week:Last year, both teams wore their home kits when they played each other in Colorado. The tones are little too similar, IMO.

gosioux76 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I was at Friday's Timbers match where, at the team shop, I overheard an employee mention how the team was getting new uniforms next year.I know this isn't surprising, given the usual cycle of MLS uniform changes. But I still found it disappointing. The Timbers have one of the best looks in MLS -- if not THE best look. I was hoping they'd break from the mold and stick with a look as long as possible.

Billy B Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Every team on the MLS is on a two year cycle and they're staggered so half the league gets new uniforms each year. But I think the Timbers look has been well-received and would expect them to stick with the green shirt/white sleeves look for the time being. There will obviously be changes, but I would just expect them to be small, possibly changing the green/darker green split and adding a different small detail.

kiwi_canadian Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 You really can't have BFBS in a sport where the clash jersey is, you know, meant only to clash with other teams...Yes but why not use white like what they had before? Black was never really a part of their uniforms...only as an accent. I also think that dark blue or navy as well as gold was used more than black.

sportstar1212 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I find that the more I look a Chelsea's home kit, the more I despise it. The gold is stupid and unnecessary. MASSIVE downgrade from last year's kit, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 You really can't have BFBS in a sport where the clash jersey is, you know, meant only to clash with other teams...National teams generally have a standard home and away color. For Northern Ireland it's green and white reversed. But lately that's gone to the side. See Mexico and USA for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MASSIVE downgrade from last year's kit, IMO.How is it unnecessary? Without it it would be a plain blue t-shirt. I don't think it's stupid, either. It's a very fitting celebration of their Champions League title, much like the 'World Champions' jerseys that baseball teams used to wear.

It's a very fitting celebration of their Champions League title, much like the 'World Champions' jerseys that baseball teams used to wear.I like it now that they're wearing gold after winning the Champions League (FA Cup, too) but when they came out with this design they were still longshots to win the CL. They were just jumping onto the monochrome crest bandwagon and lucked into making it gold the year they won the CL. And most of the clubs that are going with monochrome crests are doing so on their clash jerseys where their normal crest colors might look out of place on a different color. There wasn't any reason for Chelsea to use a gold crest on their home shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
